Think the fantasy with Sandy was the northeast hit more than the storm itself. It was big in the Caribbean.

The thing is, Sandy was a Cat 3 when it hit Cuba. It was a massive system. Over 1000 miles wide. Even if we had the exact same landfall/angle this year with a 985 sub TC the impacts would be night and day.

Yeah they really aren't too similar. Maybe wrt the bigger blocking pattern in some ways if the Euro is right.

In the real world, the worst things about Sandy were the lives lost and property destroyed.  In the internet weather community, the worst thing to come from Sandy is that now people will yap about every crazy model run because "it could happen."

it's like derecho fever after last yr. it should die off after a while, hopefully.

The control run of the Euro last year was dead set on a Sandy landfall further south when the grand majority of model support was more towards SNE. It can be useful at times. I'm curious as to what the actual run looked like or if everyone here is just trolling it.

 

Not that great, 1004mb into eastern Rhode Island, temps in the 60's and 1-2" of rain.
